Meet the Mahavidyas - Yoni Shakti Series –

As the ‘guiding star’ who carries and/or guides us through all experiences, Tara bridges di culties and blessings; she can be both erce and benign. She is assigned in Yoni Shakti to the speci c guardianship of the maha-cycle of menstruality, as a meta-guide for all cyclical wisdom. Like the yantras for Kali, Chinnamastā and Bhairavi, the Tara yantra is pure Shakti, with only a single downward pointing triangle. The Siva consciousness is only present in the form of the lingam bindu in the centre of the yantra.
